Expect the Dolphins to do just about everything they can today..as the team brass tries hard to see if they can come to terms with DL LORENZO BROMELL. Bromell's agent and the Dolphins will resume talks...however there is still quite a ways to go...as the main problem right now is the fact that BROMELL is asking to paid what most teams would be paying to retain DL who are actually starting. The Dolphins see BROMELL as an important pass-rushing specialist that they would very much like to retain...particularly knowing that they have just see KENNY MIXON sign with the Vikings. There is no doubt that there is a need for a pass-rushing specialist on this current DL...and the Dolphins feel that BROMELL is still coming into his best years.
The bottom line here is that the Dolphins will not over-pay to get back BROMELL. At first...Bromell's agent was asking for more money than KENNY MIXON was asking the Dolphins for. Interestingly enough....it was the VIKINGS who had both MIXON and BROMELL in for visits last week...and they pursued MIXON much more than BROMELL. However...the Dolphins will not feel the loss of MIXON...probably not at all. Where as in BROMELL's case...his specialty is what they need...and that is his coming in on third downs...and just laying the ears back...and going after the quarterback.
Right now...there are not that many teams willing to meet BROMELL's recent demands.....we should know today how things progress in the negotiations. Like I said....expect the Dolphins to ante up for BROMELL just a little bit...but it is highly unlikely that BROMELL will be getting anywhere near what KENNY MIXON just signed for with the Vikings....the Dolphins just do not want to give BROMELL that type of contract....as they just want to pay him...like a comparable "situational DL".
